Note.............I'm not calling for a full invasion...............The problem lies with finding ALL the nuclear weapon sites and destroying them. And then occupying the country (as Germany and Japan still are 70 years after World War II) - to keep them from rebuilding the nukes. Until that is done, the US cannot be secure.We don't need a full scale invasion.......................Destroy the sites via air and missile attacks and degrade their capabilities to a point that would set them back decades.........................
Get in, get out and leave before the dust settles.....................do not rebuild them..........and leave them nothing to shoot back at.........
Invasion and occupation leads to the same IED's and suicide attacks they are famous for..........No need to fight the battle on their terms.
The US will never be totally secure or safe. To think it is possible is delusional.
We have enemies. Putting troops on the ground increases those enemies. And we will not be able to remove all the options for nuclear weapons. There were between 80 and 100 "suitcase nukes" missing after the fall of the Soviet Union. How many of those are for sale? How many of them are owned by jihadists?
The idea that you think you can make the world safe and secure is nonsense.
Of course we will never be totally secure or safe............but when you see the possibility of terrorist getting the bomb.............or a terror supporting nation getting one.........which could be the same........................you need to at least TRY to stop them......................
Looking the other way, or saying there's nothing we can do when we could possibly stop them or delay them isn't going to change the chance they may use one if they get it.................
At the same time there is never a guarantee that we can stop it forever...............
Do nothing............and a Mushroom cloud comes up...................will we say WE SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.................but alas then it's too late.
